Generating workflows using modular functions

Abstract

Techniques for determining and/or utilizing various modular functions are discussed herein. In some examples, a communication platform may receive a request to generate or otherwise determine a workflow. Upon receiving the request, the communication platform may display modular functions which may be used to build the workflow. In some examples, the communication platform may include modular functions specific to list virtual spaces, modular functions specific to canvas virtual spaces, and/or modular functions specific to any other type of virtual space. In some examples, a user may build a workflow using one or more modular functions corresponding to one or more virtual spaces and/or machine-learning modular functions. Upon creating the workflow, a user of the communication platform may select or otherwise request that the communication platform performs the workflow. In such instances, performing the workflow may include executing the modular functions included in the workflow.
